Sorry there are no general purpose answers to your questions.

Get a book about mulitthreading and read the introduction. Normally
this should help you to understand something about multithreading.

Try www.amazon.com. There are at least 5 books that I know of on the
subject. They'll probably give you a far more thorough treatment than
you can expect on usenet, if you are looking for a serious and complete
solution.

You post raises some questions.
   1) Are you talking about multi vs single user programs?
   2) Are you wondering about making programs memory resident for 
multiple users?
   3) Are you wishing to utilize parallel processing to speed clock time 
for a large application?
   4) For the last problem, Why do you wish to make the conversion?

You forgot to post the email address of your teacher!

If you do that, then we can submit answers directly, saving internet 
bandwidth and saving you the hassle of forwarding them on.

1. All of them.
2. On  modern system (as in "low-cost process creation"), none really.
3. cat mt_program.c | sed 's/multi/single/g' > st_program.c

Hi Omar

1. If you want sequential execution of logic steps, then single
threaded program will do the job
2. If your logic allows for parallel or simultaneous execution of
programming steps without hindering or corrupting the output, then
multithreaded programs are the call of the day
3. If you can convert your parallel logic to that of a sequential
execution instead of concurrent execution, then the program is
single-threaded.

Of course the above is based on programming logic, but if you talk
about programming then there are calls which will create threads and
you can assign each thread a logic to execute independently of the
other threads, or to have some sort of hand-shake among threads so that
they all proceed is a timely manner and converge on an output.

Hope these answer your above queries.

Regards

Vardhan
